“Scary Movie 6” is on pace to set a franchise record after a stellar opening day.

Paramount and Miramax’s “Scary Movie 6,” the first in the parody series helmed by the Wayans brothers since 2001’s “Scary Movie 2,” grossed $24.7 million domestic on Friday from 3,490 cinemas. By Sunday, the irreverent horror-comedy is expected to make $56 million, which is more than enough to earn the title of best opening in “Scary Movie” history. That record currently belongs to “Scary Movie 4,” which debuted to $49.7 million in 2006. The movie carries a $30 million price tag.
